Ste-Lucie is famous for its olive oil (the Moulin a Huile oil mill is open to the public), and also a rare type of rock called 'diorite orbiculaire' which used to be quarried nearby. Rough-cut lumps of this greyish-blue rock with black and white rings can be purchased from the house advertising 'Pierres Corse' (Corsican rocks).
